Paranormal Activity 2&3 built on the mythology of the first film, but given their narrative positioning (as prequel-sequels) it can be hard to keep the story straight. To get you psyched up for PA4 (and remind you what the story actually is) we’ve distilled the first three films and trailers for the fourth into three spine-tingling minutes.
It’s all in chronological story order, starting with Part 3 when Katie and Kristi are children, then moving on to Part 2 with grownup Kristi’s family - and finally, the original Paranormal Activity with Katie and her boyfriend Micah. Of course, in addition to the story bits, we've also included some of the series' best scares as well. Will a character get demon-thrown into the camera in Paranormal Activity 4? We'll just have to wait and see.
In the meantime, we're not going to dwell on the fact that the entire plot of this three (now four)-part series can be so easily distilled into three minutes - after all, the various set piece scares are really the driving force behind this franchise, right?
